We spent all day (& most of the night) at the state fair yesterday. We used to go every year but it has gotten SOOO crowded and it's always over 100 degrees here..the novelty wore off. We hadn't been in about 4 years. But now with the baby, maybe we'll start going again. Steve took off Friday and it was soooo nice. Cooler, absolutely no crowds, it was such a pleasant day. And Charles, well, Charles. He was his usual pleasant self. The families we were with kept commenting how good he was, "that he never cries." mmhmm..mums the word!Charles's first experience in the midway..rides, darts, toys etc.
Then on to the petting zoo. Charles LOVED the animals. He was fearless, the bigger and closer they got. He pet and fed them all. The donkey was his favorite. Which surprised me as it was so big. It started braying at one point and lots of little kids went 'a skattering in sheer terror...Charles just stood there staring him down...when he was finished...in went Charles's hand to pet him some more.
But our fine FEATHERED friends....ahhh, not so much. Charles showed plenty of apprension toward these little guys. Look carefully at his hand with the chicken here. We'd pet it, he'd start trusting us and admire our interest and all that, but then we'd put HIS hand up to pet the chicken and...not gonna happen.
Later it was the same thing with the other birds. Look at how he's backing away from this little parakeet. It was funny.
WE LOVE COMMENTS!!!
